Using a Lr 5.5 catalog with Lr 4.4

Just purchased a CC subscription to take me to Lr 5.5. Seems I can't read the new Lr 5.5 catalog created by upgrading it from my purchased Lr 4.4 catalog. What happens if I decide I want to revert to using Lr 4.4 and not continue with CC? Is there a tool to recreate a Lr 4.4 catalog, or have I missed something?

To add to what elie-d said, LR 4 cannot read LR 5 catalogues, so any changes you make in LR 5 will not be accessible to your old copy of LR. LR 5 will be available as a perpetual license, though, and you could purchase that if you decide to end your subscription.

  • Using a network-stored catalog with Mac OSX

    Greetings all.
    I am using Photoshop Elements 11 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion and want to store my catalog on a local network drive (FreeNAS).  I have encountered many problems while attempting to do this.  Then I noticed in the Elements Organizer help, under the section "Repair a catalog", the following: "Note:  (Mac OS) You cannot access catalogs present on a network drive."
    Is this true. or has someone found a workaround to the problem?
    Thanks!
    --John

    Thanks, for that ( I assume we have to carry on in English due to forum policy even though we are both of German tongue I assume)
    You mean the access problems are part of the "no network drive" thing? I suspected that. Took me a whole day in front of my computer to realign the mess.  So should one better not use the network drives at all? Quite a pity in times where everybody seems to use network storage.
    No, I did not use organizer to use the photos. So there is no way to reconnect them? Should I delete the catalogue and start with the photos from scratch?

    Well, yes, these are part of the "no network drive" thing.
    As for moving the photos, did you use organizer to move them? You will always have trouble if you move photos outside of organizer, even on the same drive--you have to let it manage your photos or it doesn't have a clue as to what happened.

  • Can I share my PSE8 catalog with a user on another computer using PSE6?

    I want to share my PSE8 catalog with user on another computer using PSE6, so that we both organize and edit the same photos.

    Thanks for the fast response.
    I am planning on locating both the catalog and photos in the same shared folder, accessible on a home network with two computers.  Only one person at a time will be using it, so we should both see the same catalog structure.  I've already given general tags to the photos, but my wife wants to add more detailed sub groups and tags.  After reading the license agreement with Adobe, it looks like I can put the same PSE8 on both home computers, so I think the catalog sharing should work.  I'll give it a try to see.

  • How do I automate a large catalog with several unique sections using Data Merge and Microsoft Excel?

    My boss would like me to use data merge to create a catalog with 300+ pages and unique data fields on almost every page. It is an informational catalog that would contain pictures and several unique fitment and specification fields for each product that we sell and manufacture on each page. For years the catalog was made and modified manually in quark express. Is it possible to use data merge to recreate such a complex document? Does anyone have any useful reccomendations or links for tackling this project? I really appreciate any advice or help.
    Thank You,
    Kevin

  • Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines

    I have use of so many cloud services including the 20gb that Adobe gives me.  Is there a way i can sync my catalog on the cloud so that i can have all my metadata on both my laptop and desk top?  I also have 300gb of cloud storage though Copy.  I would just like some recomendations on how best to go about it. Thanks

    Hi Pat,
    Using Lightroom Cloud to Sync Catalog Between Two Machines
    If you’re running Lightroom on a laptop during your location shoots, you might want to take all the edits, keywords, metadata, and of course the photos themselves, and add them to the Lightroom catalog on your studio computer. It’s easier than it sounds: basically, you choose which catalog to export from your laptop, then you take the folder it creates over to your studio computer and import it.
    You need to decide whether you want to export a folder (all the imported photos from your shoot), or a collection (just your Picks from the shoot). In this case, we’ll go with a collection, so go to the Collections panel and click on the collection you want to merge with your main catalog back in your studio. (If you had chosen a folder, the only difference would be you’d go to the Folders panel and click on the folder from that shoot instead. Either way, all the metadata you added, and any edits you made in Lightroom, will still be transferred over to the other machine.)
    Please refer to http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1930499 for more details.
    Thanks!

  • Sharing Lightroom 4 catalog with multiple users on the same Windows Machine

    Hi:
    I just started out using Lightroom 4 for managing family photos. What I want to do is to share the LR catalog so that my kids and wife can access the database from their own accounts. I tried sharing the directory with the catalog and all the photos. But when I open lightroom from my kids's account, I keep getting an "unexpected error openning the catalog".
    I am using Windows 8, 64bit
    The catalog was created in my account (adminstrator)
    the other accounts are normal accounts
    I have searched around but all the questions ask about sharing on network drives. But I just want to share the catalog on the same machine on local harddrive. I made sure that all the other lightrooms are closed in the other accounts (everyone else is signed off) before I tried to open it from my kid's account.
    Any ideas?
    thanks a lot for your help,
    Herman

    It sounds like the other user accounts don't have permission to access the catalog. You could mess with permissions and try to get everyone access to the catalog, or an easier way might be to just move the catalog and the images to their own volume formatted as FAT 32. FAT 32 volumes don't user permissions, thus everyone would have read/write access by default.

    Hello alltogether! I use PSE 7 on my PC with windows XP and now want to change to a new Mac with the newest version PSE . Is it possible to move all my albums and tags to that new version? Thank you very much for your kind answers! Candyapple111

    1. Install PSE 11 in windows, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup  to a removable drive, like a usb drive, using the organizer's back up command. If you buy the boxed version you get discs for both platforms.
    2. Install PSE on the mac.
    3. Restore the backup to the mac. Point the restore to the .tly file in the folder, not the enclosing folder.

  • How to create CATALOG with MS SQL Server?

    Connection class has getCatalog(strCatalog) method. In order to use it, we must create CATALOG in Database?
    How to create CATALOG with MS SQL Server?
    Help me, please!!!

    You do not create these for any database, this is part of the Connection metadata.
    The Catalog is the third level of table-like database object qualification as in "Catalog.Schema.Table". For SQLServer the qualification scheme is "Database.Owner.Table" and I would be surprised if they reported anything for the current connections getCatalog() method call.
    What many people do is avoid table qualification altogether by setting the connection's context in a database proprietary manner and then keeping the SQL as clean as possible. For many ODBC and JDBC drivers this can be set in the configuration. For MS SQLServer you can also execute a "USE dbname" statement on the connection to avoid table qualification.

  • Ways to optimize big product catalog with a lot of characteristics

    Hi,
    B2B with SO. We have product catalog with a lot of products.
    All products have a lot of characteristics.
    Which methods are exist for optimize works with big catalog?
    For example, how we can deactivate part of un-used characteristics?
    Denis

    Ive been having hell with this aswell, although i think my computer is to blame. It "should" work if i could install wmp, but i cannot because my computer needs me to install some update rollup 2 which doesnt install and i cant install sp3 either... i've been contacting microsoft but they cant sort it.. maybe my pc is just reaching its old age and cannot cope with so many new things going on.
    but from what you have said i cant see why it shouldnt work with your current system.

    Lightroom requires me to sign in 3 or 4 times whenever I use it.
    I get confronted with a screen telling my trial has 00 days left and I must license or sign in to continue.
    If I simply ignore any of these repeated requests, Lightroom immediately exits
    .This happens whether or not I sign in to Creative Cloud before attempting to launch Lightroom.
    My subscription is in good standing and Lightroom/ Photoshop are up to date. There are no earlier versions installed.

    From what you report it appears that you have a trial version of Lightroom 5 perpetual license version installed. Subscribing to the Creative Cloud package PS CC and Lightroom will not activate this version. Try the following.
    1. Uninstall Lightroom using the OS system normal uninstall process. This will not affect your existing Catalog and user files and but will just remove the Lightroom Application.
    2. Reboot your computer.
    3. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Application Manager and it should give you the option to download the latest Lightroom 5 install package. Proceed to download and install this version and it should be activated automatically, no requirement to enter any license key like the Perpetual License version. It will automatically link to your existing Catalog files etc. 

  • Resync recovery catalog with controlfile

    Oracle :10.2.0.2
    os : solaris 5.10
    When doing stage refresh with production using RMAN a small pitfall happen.
    By mistake i have connected to the stage database and production recovery catalog. This was done after changing the db name for stage database. Recovery catalog has taken this as new incarnation. The stage database opened with resetlogs after refresh. The db id's of both the incarnations are same.
    DB_KEY DBID DBINC_KEY NAME CUR
    1 3582966461 2 PRD NO
    1 3582966461 578463 STG YES
    Could anyone help me to resync the recovery catalog with old incarnation with production database.
    Help needed ASAP.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    We are following the rename datafile and then switching and opening the db with resetlogs. In this scenario we are only changing the db name not the dbid.
    If it is not for a restore test the duplicate command previously mentioned does everything for you. If you want to proceed manually change the DBID manually after the restore.
    Any further suggetions to resolve my issue.
    The suggested unregister/register failed ? Catalog is just an optional help, losing data from the catalog does not compromise the possibilities of restorations.
    Best regards

  • Export catalog with deleted items

    Hi,
    I would like to export catalog with deleted items on contracts.
    I am actually using the class : /CCM/CL_CATALOG_EXPORT
    But i don't have in result items deleted in contracts.
    Can you help me?
    Mathieu

    Thank Atul for your answer.
    >Which CCM version are you using ?
    Version 2.0 ( CCM     200_640     0004     SAPK-26404INCCM     CCM 200_640 : Add-On Delta Upgrade)
    I read these notes, it is yet implemented.
    I read the forum too and I am actually using the class /CCM/CL_CATALOG_EXPORT.
    I made some changes :
    <u>Method GET_EXPORT</u>
    CALL METHOD gr_catalog_manager->get_catalog_data
            EXPORTING
              is_req_data     = ls_req_catalog
              iv_with_deleted = ABAP_TRUE
            RECEIVING
              result          = ls_catalog_header.
    In GET_CATALOG_DATA
    *     read the header data
          result-component = gr_catalog_header_manager->get_header( iv_guid     = gs_curr_catalog-guid
                                                                    is_req_data = is_req_data-component
                                                                    is_locale   = is_locale ).
    Parameter iv_with_deleted is not used !!  Do you know why?
    As well, I changed inside method <i>DO_CONTENT_ITEMVAL</i> two calls method :
    (<i>get_all_items, get_item_data</i>) with parameter <i>iv_with_deleted</i> = true.
    With these changes I have the deleted items from the procurment catalog in my export.
    But if I delete an item in my contract following a generation of my contract catalog and my procurment catalog. This deleted item doesn't appear in my CC et PC. At the end, I don't have this item deleted in my export.
    Maybe it is an mapping error, and I should map this deleted item to my procurment catalog... (It was in place before I came in this project, and I don't really know how it is done actually)
    Or there is a solution to export deleted item in the contrat when I am exporting the PC.
    Do you have an idea?
    Regards and sorry for my english

    I was working on my 96page catalog with over 2000 photos and out of the blue my frame edges vanished even on the paste board and they are not hidden and are on

    You won't see the frame edges if you are in Preview mode, so you should use Normal mode if you want to see them. You can turn off the Document Grid in the View menu (View>Guides & Grids>Hide Document Grid).

  • Merging Lr2 legacy catalog with LR3 beta into LR3

    My Lr3 beta catalog opened without a problem in Lr3 and was established as the default catalog .   My Lr2 legacy catalog was selected thru the by specifying the Lr2 catalog and it was updated successfully to work in LR3.  So either catalog can be used in LR3 just by calling for it when launching the application. 
    But I would like to have a merged catalog so that I can use LR to do multiyear collections ...like my selects from Paris.  So I created a new MERGED CATALOG and imported the LR3 beta catalog which worked .  Then I repeated the effort with the Lr2 legacy catalog and it bombed after about 10 minutes with no error. 
    The MERGED CATALOG contained my LR3  .lrcat  and I was adding the Lr2 legacy   .lrcat .   I believe I read that if you have any items in both catalogs it will create an conflict ...like two folders with the same name. 
    Looking for a way to get around this or at least to easily find the conflict? 

    I am using a similar process and getting a duplicate photo message and then the process aborts(so you have to watch it happen).   I first create new MERGED folder with one of the catalogs..by (1)creating a new catalog and (2)importing from an existing catalog (images are referenced in place) .   I can do this with either catalog and get a usable new MERGED catalog.
    When I try to import the 2nd catalog ..I get a duplicate photograph message .  Unfortunately I don t get a clean way of dealing with it as in your example. 
    So I believe we have the cause .but the strategy to clean this up looks wicked as I have 50K images in Lr2 and 10K in Lr3 beta.   If I can find them I can remove them from LR2 before I attempt to merge.   I could also have a problem with duplicate file numbers as I use the original camera generated file number (normally not a problem but a new body will start over so duplicates can occur).    Since I can create a new catalog with either LR legacy or Lr3 beta it has to be a conflict between the two.
